No meat on 'er.

On the programme, I've got to agree that the music was bizarre, happening more and more often that strange industrial electronica is played when someone's trying to talk.
Ourbill, check out Dave Arnold with the Sherman & Comet, a million miles away from the Littlefield & Wheatcroft world, operates on an absolute shoestring but still gets results.

OK I'll give it a go tomorrow or tonight if the Comet & Sherman is on and the boss will let me! CSI and other tat might be on tonight if so no chance.

In the words of Ian Drury Nigella can butter my bagette anytime, I much prefer Rachel the Eton Fool queen. It's a man thing Kitty.

It's a man thing where you need to get out in the fresh air more.

Claire from the salvage squad is a man thing as well.

Was thinking about Salvage squad... The reason I think I'm defending this programme despite it's large dollop of sattelite-ish flimsiness is I've only ever seen 2 other programmes that have covered my own personal fixation with the modern restoration of the vehicles.
One was Salvage Squad and the M10,
& the other was Bovington's 'Saving the Tiger' DVD.
Spent so long trying to find out more about Wheatcroft's collection (having seen his FAMO and other vehicles at shows) that the quick shots round his storage yard were like gold-dust to me.

I've watched the Comet episode and half of the Panther one. Very interesting and watchable, its just a shame about the stupid filler shots of speeded up clouds every few minutes, but I taped it so can fast forward those bits.
But on the whole anything to do with tanks is interesting and I'll never get tired of watching them drive around in mud!

Sherman on in 7 minutes.
Got to get little un away from cbeebies.

von Poop · 18-01-2007, 11:05 AM

Sherman one best yet.
Already huge respect for the name of Mr Arnold goes through the roof after seeing him cut & shut an M4.
(and the least wierd cut-shots so far

)
